I loved my dining experience with Place Carmin. As a non French speaking tourist I was worried but the staff were all very friendly & took time to explain the dishes. 100% of everything we ordered was top notch quality & memorable. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to any friends.

Great food We went for a special event, around 20 friends. The first floor area was reserved for us The food was exceptional, so tasty & refined. Relatively reasonable price for the quality & location. Excellent professional service. Highly recommend.
Top quality food, service & ambiance. We ordered the deviled egg(image), salmon tartare (image), foie gras, scallop ceviche, & sea bream(image), finishing with the maple creme brulee for dessert. Absolutely fantastic, leaving us wanting more of each dish minus the sea bream which was an ample serving size. The wait staff was kind, informative, & welcoming. All for a respectable price. A place we will definitely return to on our next trip to Montreal.
It was delicious. Fast & friendly service. Good atmosphere. A bit away from the old town, so rather authentic place. We were recommended by a friend who works as a chef & being here. Enjoyed our evening.
Experience de très haut calibre. très bon rapport qualité prix & service exceptionnel. Pas trop bruyant même si la soirée était occupée. Serveurs présent mais pas trop avec une connaissance approfondi du menu & de belles recommandations.
I love this place, I went several times because everything is good from appetizer to main dish to dessert. So far my favourite crème brulée is at this place
Place Carmin is a hidden gem! From starters to dessert our food tasted amazing. There were so many thoughtful touches on each plate as well as being beautifully plated. The wait staff are super friendly & accommodating. We will definitely be back!! Thank you
Excellent fois gras. Great service. Oysters are fine. Sashimi special was wonderful; lots of unique & complimentary flavors. I enjoyed the orange duck. A good value
A beautiful spot for a business dinner, the quality & variety of dishes were extremely high. I went through plate after plate of the octopus salad as my compatriots did not adequately appreciate it - more for me! The steak was also cooked to perfection, & I loved the whimsical canapés which kicked off the meal. Quite generous with the house wine as well, I would love to come back anytime.
Excellent food, impeccable service. We'll be back for sure! My only complaint is that the dining room was very hot, specially the tables beside the kitchen.
